When I read locked, I thought you mean CXW has a straight arm, which he clearly does not. Whatever mechanic CXW is using, isn't predicated on where he has placed his hands on the other guy. He probably could replicate the same demo without any hands on the other guy.

So for the peanut gallery, do you think CXW is floating/under the other guy, or doing something else?

Is the strongman using any hip action or not? Who is resting on who?

There are tons of CXW videos online, you will find some translated, there is one that is crudely translated about double weighting which may be informitive if you can figure out the wacky english.
